I always figured knowing Orlando was worth a 2 grade bump haha, I am just surprised Joe still has the juice.

Nice to know they are so easily convinced. Good grief.

Well done, Todd. Now then, how about telling us what you learned during your 10-15 minute chat with Joe Orlando?

Was Joe there in an official PSA capacity or did he talk about what his next venture might be?

Default Once they got past the "altered" part...

How the heck did they only give that a 2? Are there defects that we aren't seeing? On the back?

I am accepting select private consignments of quality vintage cards (raw or graded) and collecting "want" lists for higher end ($1K+) vintage cards.

No offense to Todd but I agree with Conner it would be interesting to hear from the grader that changed the grade. In the REA description it says the reason for the authentic grade was it was an album removal that impacted the text and an apparent attempt to reattach that area. In the scan it does look like the post area in postpaid has the typical paper pull you see in a lot of album removals.

I actually wanted a grader to explain why it was initially graded as altered.

I certainly don’t hold any pull with them and that was the first time I had ever met or even talked with Joe Orlando. He only told me who I should talk to so that a senior grader could look at it.

Yes, the card certainly had been in an album and some of the print on a small portion of the card was lightened when the card was removed. I was certain that nothing had been done to the card and after getting it because seeing it person other than a scam you can easily see that nothing was applied or added which is why I wanted a review of the card. Nothing but the actual condition of the card warranted the grade that it ended up getting.

The auction description was written after the card was graded and since it was graded as authentic/altered the auction description writer most likely assumed that it had been altered. Most auction write ups are written off a scan/pic of the item and not the actual item itself sitting in front of the auction writer.

Seeing the card in person and under magnification rather than just from a scan shows why I was convinced that it wasn’t altered.

I am happy that I bought it but I have to feel a little bad for the consigner because the initial grader at PSA cost that person a pretty good amount of money.
